Cooking and Dining for Singles Can be Expensive

Living alone may have its benefits for some, but there are a lot of expenses that make it possible for a single person to spend around $350,000 more in their lifetime than if they were part of a couple or family.  While much of those expenses may be for big ticket items like housing & transportation, food costs can really add up too.

It's not that they are eating different amounts because they are single, but that the cost for smaller packages or portions is typically a much higher per unit cost.  There's no volume discount when it comes to eating for one.  Discount price club shopping rarely makes sense, and, to add insult to injury, the amount of time it takes to cook one meal or two is pretty much the same - so the "labor" or "time" cost is higher too.

That's what makes the idea of our Home Meal Replacement industry appealing to so many single diners.  There is a convenience factor as well as a reduction in waste - both on the financial and food sides.  Having meals delivered to their home, either in bulk for reheating, or via other efficient delivery systems that keep costs down, can be a fulfilling way take care of one self.

Another factor in single dining tends to be effectively skimping on quality and healthy food (which tends to cost more in most areas) and replacing it with cheaper, processed food, which rarely caries the same nutritional value or contains excess levels of sodium and lots of stabilizers and artificial stuff.  And we're not even talking about fast food or big chain restaurant food.

All of this makes our role as a personal chef dinner delivery service much easier when dealing with the enlightened, savvy single diner.
